  2. Just finished this sign today

    We're talking about the local food bank. If you've had never had any experience with yours like we have with ours in every city we've lived in, you'll call us crazy, but we think starving people in the richest country on earth is a travesty and more than a personal pet peeve. These are...

    Not to pile on but if your company can't afford to donate a couple gallons of paint, roller sleeves and a few manhours to your local anti-hunger resource center, you gotta raise your prices or rethink your level of charitable giving.
  4. What material for a 5'x12' sign

    We get 5'x10' ACM all the time from Denco. Two 5'x6' panels and you've got a nice one seam look and not a terrible install for two people.
  5. Suggestions Part Time Pay ?

    We live and operate 20 minutes away from a major university with a great graphic design program and the original owner's daughter earned a degree in visual communications there. Going through her old files from the first couple of years and our own experiences with applicants and potential...
  6. Suggestions Part Time Pay ?

    No, they are being replaced by kiosks because competition in the fast food sector and building supply industries is brutal and the margins are very tight when your product only costs a few dollars and there are countless competitors. Any advantage a corporation like McD's, Home Depot, Lowes...

  8. PVC Directory sign panels

    Boy, that size panel is gonna need at least 8-10 attachments to keep it from warping too much unless they get laid flat against the background and have a couple double sided tape tabs to help hold them flat. I like your first idea better than the inserts. At least then the pressure of the...
  9. Need Help What In The World Happened Here!

    I'm running eco-solv but out of respect for your knowledge I always take note of the technical observations you make for future reference. I thought the OP stated that he let the prints dry for a few days before laminating. Are saying even that isn't long enough if the proper pass settings...

    Is there a clipping mask being used in the file? Is there a text box being used?
  11. Protective Coating For Dibond

    The Frog Juice comes in either aerosol or liquid form. We use the rattle cans for smaller signs and you have to do several light mist coats first, then a good flood coat. Foam rollers don't work very well with the liquid form or the Clear Shield Production. It creates too many air bubbles. We...
  12. Tape mounting dimensional letters

    We use studs and LEXEL High strength Adhesive whenever possible. For smaller letters where studs aren't practical, we use the clear VHB and a few dabs of LEXEL. I prefer LEXEL over silicone because it has a quicker initial grab and its grip actually strengthens as it cures but it never gets...

    We've used FrogJuice and ClearShield Production with good results.
  14. How to make this contemporary?

    It's a good concept but you added a font from the 70's and 80's. A key skillset of any good graphic designer is being a good listener. When a customer clearly states a preference, we have to learn how to break away from what WE want to design for them and do what they ask for but with our skills...
  15. How to make this contemporary?

    And people wonder why only a minority of businesses succeed beyond their first five years. for food related businesses its even fewer. When Americans have been polled about their religious belief systems for the last 10+ years, the number one answer is: None Of The Above. I go out of my way...
  16. How to make this contemporary?

    No, I was using deductive reasoning. The OP stated it was a logo for a mobile food cart, so reasons stands that it could involve some trailer graphics, menus, business cards, flyers, etc.
  17. How to make this contemporary?

    To each his own. I read her message and am 100% certain I could come up with something that would fill the bill in under two hours time. She's just talking out loud about what she wants. It could be her first foray into business ownership and she's just talking herself up. I think her...
  18. How to make this contemporary?

    What if it the logo design is connected to a big trailer wrap project? I think if he can just get synced up with his client on her preferences and pull something more cohesive and contemporary together, it could save the entire project.
  19. How to make this contemporary?

    What kind of initial questions were asked and what kind of preferences did the client express at that point? Is this an actual logo design project, or a layout for something else you'll be producing? Her most recent expressed desires and the use of the bell contradict each other. Maybe greasy...
